Produktbeschreibung
Aaron's Rod is a novel exploring personal conflict, societal expectations, and the struggles between professional and familial responsibilities. The protagonist, a miner and union leader, faces a turbulent inner life marked by tensions from both his career and family. His role in the miners' union and the aftermath of war have created a sense of dissonance, particularly in his relationships with those closest to him. As he navigates his obligations, the narrative delves into the complexities of balancing individual desires with external pressures. His personal struggles are intertwined with larger societal issues, such as the aftermath of war and the expectations placed on individuals within their families and communities. The story also highlights the emotional challenges of reconciling duty with personal fulfillment, exploring how these conflicts shape one's identity. The domestic setting, tinged with both excitement and tension, reflects the broader themes of disillusionment and self-discovery. Through the protagonist's journey, the novel offers insight into the human condition and the intricacies of maintaining one's sense of self in a world that demands sacrifice and conformity. The exploration of these emotional and social dynamics forms the core of the narrative.
Autorenporträt
David Herbert Lawrence was born on September 11, 1885, in Eastwood, United Kingdom. His parents were Arthur John Lawrence, a coal miner, and Lydia Beardsall Lawrence, who came from a family of lace makers. David grew up in a working-class environment, which deeply influenced his later works. He became one of the most important English novelists of the 20th century, known for his works that explored themes of modernity, social alienation, and the impact of industrialization. His writing championed human vitality, sexuality, and instinct, often in opposition to the dehumanizing forces of modern life. Lawrence's most famous works include novels such as "Sons and Lovers," "Women in Love," and "Lady Chatterley's Lover." He was influenced by prominent figures such as Thomas Hardy, Sigmund Freud, and E. M. Forster. His works were often controversial, addressing issues of sexuality and class that led to censorship. Lawrence married Frieda Weekley in 1914, and their life together was marked by travels and an often turbulent relationship. He died on March 2, 1930, in Vence, France, at the age of 44, leaving behind a significant legacy in literature that continues to provoke thought and discussion.
